No two organizations are alike and require specialized, customizable services to address the cost of risk. Our specialized services meet the challenges of a diversified environment and your industry’s exposure to risk. These are a few examples:

Industrial Hygiene
These services are offered to identify, evaluate and ultimately help you control risks associated with personnel exposures. Evaluation of Respiratory Protection needs, assessment of volatile organic compounds in air, or monitoring for potential mold are a few services offered to reduce potential personnel exposure.

Loss Control & Claims Review
This process is a coordinated effort to analyze your loss history and trending over time to target the driving factors of your claims cost. Our professionals can help you lower your cost of risk by managing the frequency and severity of potential loss.

Slip & Fall Protection
Each year, over 1 million people are injured because of slips and falls on level surfaces. Many of these injuries are serious, including broken bones, twisted ankles and knees, muscle strains, cuts and head injuries. And some of these injuries are even fatal; an estimated 500 people die each year from slip and fall injuries. Slip and fall accidents contribute significantly to insurance and operational costs. Our slip and fall prevention program is targeted to address the direct and indirect costs of these accidents.

Business solution services provide access to a wealth of information, compliance resources and solutions designed to help you manage your cost of risk. We have negotiated arrangements with proven vendors to offer special pricing and/or free unlimited access to risk management services for our clients.

ORALscreen:instant saliva-based drug testing

Fleet/Driver Safety Management

Driver’s Alert is a vehicle-monitoring program that encourages feedback from the public in a positive manner. Working as an early warning system through vehicle monitoring, fleet operators receive ongoing feedback regarding unsafe acts and at risk driving practices to identify those drivers that may need assistance. Driver’s Alert customers report reductions in accident frequency and DOT reportable accidents after implementing a vehicle-monitoring program.

Public Image: The display of Driver’s Alert decals promotes an increased awareness of safe driving techniques and safe driving habits by company drivers. This in turn increases public awareness of courteous behavior and the company’s commitment to safety.

Your exceptional service has allowed us to meet, if not exceed, our customers’ needs and expectations. We have truly found a partner in R&IC.Sherri Holcombe, Risk Administrator, GTO 2000
